Hi Sam,

It does not work because you expect a day to a Friday and a Saturday and a Sunday at the same time. Try an OR condition instead.

I tried it that way and it didn't work either.

I am using this code to test a strategy in Backtesting. It needs to work from Monday to Thursday. stopping on Friday and returning only on Monday Could you please give me an example of how to create these command lines?  

   protected override void OnTick()
        {






            {

                if (Server.Time.DayOfWeek == DayOfWeek.Friday)
                {
                    Stop();
                }
                if (Server.Time.DayOfWeek == DayOfWeek.Sunday)
                {
                    Stop();
                }
                if (Server.Time.DayOfWeek == DayOfWeek.Saturday)
                {
                    Stop();
                }
            }

Hi Sam,

Your code will stop the cBot completely on the specific days. Try something like this instead

            var day = Server.Time.DayOfWeek;
            if (day == DayOfWeek.Monday || day == DayOfWeek.Tuesday || day == DayOfWeek.Wednesday || day == DayOfWeek.Thursday)
            {
                // Trade
            }

I was trying similar stuff, like this, but i am getting error "Error CS0103: The name 'DayOfWeek' does not exist in the current context". Did something changed since than?

Hi,

DayOfWeek type is not part of Automate API, it's part of .NET framework.

To use DayOfWeek on your code you must add "using System;" on top of your indicator/cBot code file.

RE:

Thank you. That was the piece of information i was missing. I guess, i can delete other lines with "using System.xxxx;"
